New
York, April 24, 2014--An investigative journalist in Cameroon told CPJ today
that his car had been destroyed
in an explosion early this morning. Denis Nkwebo said the car was parked
outside his house in the commercial capital of Douala, and that no one was hurt
in the explosion.

Nkwebo, an editor of the leading private daily Le Jour, told CPJ that acquaintances and his contacts within the government had warned him to be careful in his investigation and coverage of Cameroonian security forces. In an April 15 article, Nkwebo said security forces were struggling to stem a spate of kidnappings and armed attacks in the regions bordering unstable Nigeria and the strife-torn Central African Republic.
